--- Comment #6 from Robert M Campbell <[email protected]> ---
Eike Rathke, the problem with Mittaphap, and all other open source fonts for
Lao I've found so far, is that they only have the license info or references to
the license in the font file itself, and not in a separate file. 

I know legally this is problematic if the license isn't clear. The Dhyana font
on http://www.google.com/fonts/earlyaccess may be a better option in that
regard since it seems the license may be more clear. I believe, however, that
Mittaphap is the next version of Dhyana, so Mittaphap will be more
up-to-date,unless I am mistaken.

There's also Phetsarath OT (the Lao government standard font). So, Mittaphap is
not the only option.

Sorry, I didn't notice the version 5 of Khmer OS. Thanks for catching that!

Urmas, I can respect the fact that you don't not want extra fonts that you will
neither use, nor will even be installed. I wouldn't want what I feel like is a
bunch of bloat on my computer either, especially if it's not the language I
speak. Your thoughts and suggestions on the matter are welcome.

I hope my proactiveness hasn't come off pushy - that's not my goal. I'm new to
contributing to LibreOffice and to programming in C++ in general. My hope is
that Laos, as well as Thailand, Cambodia, and Myanmar can have better access to
technology via LibreOffice.
